Students and Teachers: Chapter Seven
... Danny stared at the ledge as Sidney looked down his eyes lifeless. Danny knew what was going to happen, what would happen if he didn't do anything to help him.
"Sidney step away from the ledge. Please I can help." Danny said softly walking towards the skinny boy.
And the boy was skinny, most would think it was simply his body shape but Danny knew it was malnutrition. The bruises he'd missed days before were now clear for everyone to see, Sidney turned and Danny knew he had failed the boy.
"Don't do it Sidney." He whispered.
"I have no choice Mr. Fenton. There's nothing in this world for me. Nothing at all. No one wants me, not even you." Sidney's voice trailed off into the wind.
"That's not true. You're a wonderful kid, I know one day you're going to do great things but first you have to come down." Danny held out his hand to the boy.
He knew what was going to happen, he knew he couldn't stop this. He hadn't been able to on that day, hand't been able to save one boy. With horror filled eyes Danny watched as Sidney turned to face him, for a brief moment Danny thought the boy would actually come down. His hopes were dashed a moment later.
"Goodbye Mr. Fenton." Sidney said before he stepped backwards off the building.
Danny rushed to the edge trying to grab the boys hand, but no matter how hard he tried to get to the boy he couldn't reach the edge in time.
Heart racing Danny jerked up from his bed only half surprised to see that he was phasing through it. Running a hand over his face Danny sighed. He'd had the dream again. In reality he wasn't there when the boy jumped, in reality everything Sidney said was left in the note the boy had written to him before he died. And in reality Danny had been the one to kill him.
"I'm sorry Sidney."
After a fitful night of sleep Danny entered his classroom surprised to see Vlad Masters waiting for him. Letting out another groan Danny rubbed his eyes before setting his supplies on hs desk and turning to face the boy.
"May I help you Mr. Masters?" He asked tiredly.
"As a matter of fact you may Mr. Fenton. Regarding out conversation yesterday I believe that you do not understand completely the consequences of your actions towards me." Vlad said looking smug.
"Mr. Masters class starts in ten minutes if you have I point I'd like you to reach it already." Danny said slightly annoyed.
"As you wish, the fact of the matter is I am not your average student and I will not accept being treated as one."
"Well Mr. Masters you may not accept it but I will not change the rules for one student, no matter who they are." Danny replied before turning away to organize some papers, "If that is all you have to say then I am done listening good day Mr. Masters."
"Sidney Poindexter."
Danny stopped what he was doing at that name. Turning around he saw the way Vlad was smirking at him. For a moment Danny felt a surge of anger rush through his body, followed by a wave of unmistakable guilt. He should have known something was going to happen, every time he had that dream it meant something bad was going to happen. Turning to face the kid fully Danny looked around making sure no one else would be entering the room before he rushed over closing and locking it.
"Mr. Masters I implore you not to speak that name again." Danny said his voice loosing the irritated voice to take on a formal one.
"I am not sure I will be able to comply with that, you see I think my parents would be quite interested to find out that one of the teachers in this school is responsible for a students death no matter how many years ago. I'm sure they would want an investigation and everything. Who knows they might actually find something that was missed last time."
Danny could hear the threat as clear as the bell which rang a moment later. He watched as Vlad walked past him out the door leaving him standing there. Looking up at the clock he noted that he had five minutes before his first class started. That meant he had five minutes to compose himself, leaning heavily on his desk Danny willed himself not to collapse or to break down in tears.
Vlad walked down the hallway feeling better now that he knew how to control his teacher. He had a feeling that Mr. Fenton would do anything to keep him quiet about the whole thing. Whistling softly Vlad stuck his hands into his pockets as he continued on his way ignorant of the grey eyes that burned a hole into his back.
"You're gonna pay if you hurt Mr. Fenton." A nasally voice said.
